Analysis Manager & Msmdarch - Application Error

  • I have been receiving the follow error when I close Analysis Manger:

    mmc.exe - Application Error

    The instruction at “0x7c8327f9” referenced memory at “0xffffffff”. The memory could not be “read”

    I am also getting the following error when msmdarch completes an archive.

    msmdarch.exe – Application Error

    The instruction at “0x7c8327f9” referenced memory at “0xffffffff”. The memory could not be “read”

    I am not seeing anything in the event viewer for these errors.

    The system is a Win2k3 Server SP1 with 3.75 GB of ram and Sql Server Standard SP4.

    I have scoured google for an answer, but I am coming up short.

    any ideas? thanks!

  • When archiving, maybe the job is not pointing to the correct device group

  • can you elaborate?

    i am running the following:

    msmdarch /a servername "e:\program files\Microsoft Analysis Services\Data\" "dbname" "e:\dbname.CAB"

  • Your device in this case is the e: drive

    Have you tried archiving it elsewhere beside the root, eg e:\archives\dbname.CAB

     

  • this may also give some insight

  • thanks, i'll take a look and try those things.

    your second link describes the problem, but i am not doing any custom coding.

  • Yeah I know - but the causes as to why the code does not work may shed some light on the problem

    As I use msddarch infrequently, I am as much in the dark as you

     

     

  • RESOLVED!

    unbelievable. the issues turned out to be the Oracle ODBC driver that we were using as the Data Source. I updated the ODBC driver with the latest drivers from Oracle and the issues have gone away for both analysis manager & msmdarch.

    Thanks for your help Wassyly Ovchynik, this was definitely a strange problem.
